Re: The <50K HT Speaker package question

I would suggest you go with the Wharfedale Diamond 9 HCP. I have not heard the Crystal range so I cannot comment on it.

I think the Wharfedale's 9 HCP are excellent value for money and can sound great both as a home theatre setup as well as a hi-fi setup.

Do not bother with the Moviestar range.

Re: The <50K HT Speaker package question

Guys,
I am definitely buying the HT either by this weekend or the next weekend max. Hence I solicit your thoughts. Please also mention the cons of a package when you say "no" and mention strengths when you say "yes" to a package.

Re: The <50K HT Speaker package question

Vivek,

I have Diamond 9.5s in my music setup with NAD. I had a confusion about Diamond 8 or Diamond 9 initially, but went for Diamond 9s for their additional bass performance without loosing mids. 8s are also damn good, and I had to choose one, chose 9s as I was not planning to pair the speakers with a sub, and was only for my stereo setup. Wharfedale has a laid-back presentation, which avoids listening fatigue. And Wharfedales are definitely worth the money you pay compared to other manufacturers.
I would also advise you to check KEF packages, as I felt they have a superb mid-range. May be they are slightly expensive and out of your budget, but should be well-worth the money.
Sonodynes are doing good, but worried of their material quality
Sonodyne subs are competitive to others with in its 1.5x price-range.

It's left your taste and usage. For movies, electronics matter along with the speakers. For music, whether you like warm/bright. Infact interiors of the room do play a role too. Don't hurry up, think enough before making a buy and it is fine if you can purchase one by one too, but go for a better buy.

Just dropped my two cents here.

Re: The <50K HT Speaker package question

Thanks SKP.

After a lot of research and as my requirements were 60% musical. I decided I would do a step by step approach to my HT purchase ( Actually two more experienced people one a Commercial member on this group [SVP] and Venky who is the distributor of AE asked to take the break up approach).

Anyways, I bought the following

Av Reciever: Denon 2307
Speakers: KEF IQ5

I came very close to buying AE speakers along with Marantz but backed out at the last moment.

My entire purchase including QED silver anniversary Sp cables and QED Optical cable cost me 77k @ Pro-fx.

Thanks for all your inputs.

Regards
Vivek
